G-SHOCK x Paradise Youth Club Launches a Special Collaborative Masterpiece

Casio Indonesia has officially announced its remarkable collaboration with the fashion brand; Paradise Youth Club. This is Casio’s and pyc’s first collaboration, in which they will be launching a limited-edition G-SHOCK DW-6900PYU21 in Indonesia.

DW-6900 was released in 1995, which was the first G-SHOCK to feature an EL backlight. The backlight’s ability to display text or a symbol became a popular feature. Also, the series won fans as a “Triple Graph” model and has remained just as popular to this day. In terms of specification, the watch is shock-resistant and has 200-meter water resistance.

Taking inspiration from PYC, this piece explores the digital network that became the main power source to people’s life since its beginning and now. In essence, we are a puppet to a so called master – the internet. Thus, the design chosen for this collaboration took a futuristic approach with its silver band. The DW-6900 was a personal touch by the PYC’s founder as it brings their first memories of G-Shock.

Paradise Youth Club DW-6900PYU21 is based on the DW-6900. The watch exudes futuristic elements by employing the silver-color bezel and band. The light green face with the big front buttons became an accent, in which the word “Power Source” will emerge by turning on the backlight. On the back case, the phrase “Guide to the Paradise Highway” is engraved.
